How to get the most out of your audio notes

The best tools only work if you know how to use them. Here are the five habits that separate teams that extract real value from AudioMap from those who just use it as an expensive transcriber.

1. Record with intention, not just as a precaution

Note quality depends on audio quality. Before the meeting starts, establish clearly who is making what decisions. This makes the model detect tasks with much greater accuracy.

2. Use the chat after, not during

The note chat is for after the meeting. Ask things like "who agreed to write the report?" or "summarize in three points what we decided about the vendor." Take advantage of the model having access to full context.

3. Tag the participants

If you upload a recording with multiple speakers, add names in the speakers screen. It dramatically improves task attribution.

4. Create notes by project, not by meeting

Group notes for a project together in AudioMap. Then you can ask cross-cutting questions: "what did we decide in the last three meetings about the design?"

5. Always export at the end of the sprint

At the end of each sprint or week, export the summary of all notes to your project management tool. Close the loop between decision and execution.
